Hello Everyone,

I "found" a neat photo diary movie showing friend of mine and many list
members Arthur "Art" Ehlman, curator of the Monnig meteorite collection, on
TCU's site today.

According to the webpage, the video was made to be played at the Ehlmann
Scholarship Party. It is rather large, those on dial up might take a while
to load it. It took me about 2-3 min. on cable.

Pretty neat seeing images of Art from different time periods.

     In a side note I donated a good portion of what was a vast impactite
collection to the museum a few months ago. Many of these were choice
specimens thanks to several list members I had traded with the like, or sold
dozens of pieces of and kept the better. (Thank you to those that helped me
build the collection, it is hard to single anyone out, so perhaps I can get
by with giving special thanks to the European collectors and Dirk Ross).
     Monnig collected meteorites when few craters were known and therefore
few impactites were in the collection with Ehlmann took over as curator.
While Art had done a great job at picking up many several examples in the
last few years, it was not too hard for me to double their inventory. If
any list member has any rare or special impactite specimens that they think
might be of interest to the museum, and willing to donate them, feel free to
e-mail me and I can help you out, or e-mail Art directly. I have not spoken
with Art on sending this e-mail so you might keep that in mind if e-mailing
him.

Clear Skies,
Mark Bostick
